Christmas Eskimos! Enter Here

PenguinBoy · 09-09-2005, 06:30 PM

As you may or may not be aware, the organisation & planning of an eskimo-adaptation of "secret santa" has been going on for a while, and i think we're now ready to recieve applicants.

This will mean that you will be given the name and address of another eskimo. and it will be you're responsibility to buy them a present to the value of a minumum of 5 pounds sterling, 7.40 euros or 9.19 us dollars, excluding postage. Be aware that it is your own decision if you decide to pay more than that amount.

The other eskimo will not know that you are the sender, until they open their present, and read a note within.

By doing this you will also recieve a present from a different secret eskimo.

RULES

1. you must make sure ur parcel arrives before christmas day
2. you must spend more than £5 (or the above equivalents)
3. you may not open ur own present until christmas day

that's about it, apart from the obvious, like sending a good present lol

TO ENTER

Now to enter you must first make a decision of whether or not you'd like to send abroad. there are only 2 options

1/international - this will mean you will prefer to (and most probably will) send abroad.
2/national - this will mean that you will only send to people in your Country. (UK + Ireland counting as 1)

Please be aware that different countries have different policies for customs charges, please check that of your own and the other countries.

an e-mail address has been set up specifically for the purpose of entering.

it is eskimochristmas@gmail.com not only can you use it for entering, but you can also use it for enquiries. If you're worried about anything then use the address we'll work things out.

Enquires will be forewarded to my personal e-mail adress. wheras address will be sorted by filters etc

clever eh?

Ok, so as i am supposed to be telling you... this is what u do to enter

you must send an e-mail entitled either "national" or "international" (according to ur preference! see the options above) to eskimochristmas@gmail.com.
Copy & Paste the following form/questionaire into the e-mail, fill in the answers and send it.

Igloo Name:
Real Name:
Full address including Country:

Is that cool? START ENTERING!

PenguinBoy · 09-09-2005, 07:28 PM

the filters have just been tested and the system seems to be right on form which is excelent.

a little complication has shown up though, if ur sending an enqury, do NOT have the words "international" or "national" in the title, because it won't get through to me, it'll just get organised into the big cyber-piles.

Edit: Btw i'll also be keeping you up-to-date with progress on this thread, and will also be saying when i need just one person later on in the "process" lol.

PenguinBoy · 09-09-2005, 07:33 PM

Is it fair to say that we want all entries in by the end of september?

gomezxico · 09-09-2005, 09:04 PM

fair enough

flyaway · 09-10-2005, 08:38 PM

PenguinBoy · 10-11-2005, 08:34 PM

Yetzirah · 10-12-2005, 09:10 PM

i definitely 'd like to participate but i have no idea where i'm gonna be at christmas time...

Cali · 10-12-2005, 11:32 PM

you could still do it, just use a friends address and he or she can keep the present until you can pick it up. btw welcome

Yetzirah · 10-13-2005, 01:13 PM

thanks a lot for the advice. at least there's someone who's thinking for me. you know, when i'm on holiday my brain just runs on half speed...

muskoxen · 10-15-2005, 06:49 PM

i just wanted to say that. yay! i'm really excited.
yay!

PenguinBoy · 10-15-2005, 07:33 PM

heeeya, we've got enough people for it to work now! huzzaa, but i'm pretty sure that there's loads more that want to enter. if there's any probs, just post them to the e-mail address. if u want to help spread the word then just advertise it in ur sig.

"Eskmas Present Eskchange - click here" and link to this thread, or something like that, cos it's what i'm gonna do lol

PenguinBoy · 10-31-2005, 04:31 PM

Yetzirah · 11-02-2005, 02:03 PM

PenguinBoy · 11-02-2005, 04:05 PM

u send ur name, ur national/international preference. igloo name & address to eskimochristmast@gmail.com. and then i'll send u the name & address of the eskimo u send to. And then when u go christmas shopping, you go one present extra
